More than one month ago we agreed to focus on bug fixing for 2.0 final (see my original mail below). At that time we had about 80+ issues targeted at 2.0. Since then it seems we have fixed 57 issues: https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&pid=12310580&fixfor=12313012
But we still have 64 issues to fix, which shows that new issues comes up (or some where retargeted or created to detail issues being fixed). This leads me to one question: is our objective to fix all open bugs for 2.0 too ambitious? I'm not sure I'll have much time to dedicate to Ivy in the coming months, I don't know for you guys, but maybe this objective will lead us to a delayed release. At the end of the month Ivy 1.0 will be 3 years old (1.0 was released on April 26th, 2005), almost half of those three years were spent @ ASF, with no final release. I think Ivy community need a release labelled as final no later than may or june, and I'm not sure we can reach this with our current objective. So, what do you think? Shall we reconsider our objective for 2.0, and retarget some of the issues for a 2.0.x?
